But the risk of stock picking is that you will likely buy under-performing companies. We regret to report that long term Inghams Group Limited (ASX:ING) shareholders have had that experience, with the share price dropping 23% in three years, versus a market return of about 22%. The falls have accelerated recently, with the share price down 20% in the last three months. \n With that in mind, it's worth seeing if the company's underlying fundamentals have been the driver of long term performance, or if there are some discrepancies. \n Check out our latest analysis for Inghams Group \n There is no denying that markets are sometimes efficient, but prices do not always reflect underlying business performance. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement. \n During the unfortunate three years of share price decline, Inghams Group actually saw its earnings per share (EPS) improve by 6.8% per year. This is quite a puzzle, and suggests there might be something temporarily buoying the share price. Or else the company was over-hyped in the past, and so its growth has disappointed. \n It's worth taking a look at other metrics, because the EPS growth doesn't seem to match with the falling share price. \n Given the healthiness of the dividend payments, we doubt that they've concerned the market. We like that Inghams Group has actually grown its revenue over the last three years. If the company can keep growing revenue, there may be an opportunity for investors. You might have to dig deeper to understand the recent share price weakness. \n The image below shows how earnings and revenue have tracked over time (if you click on the image you can see greater detail). \n\n\n\n  ASX:ING Earnings and Revenue Growth October 15th 2024\n \n\n It's probably worth noting we've seen significant insider buying in the last quarter, which we consider a positive. That said, we think earnings and revenue growth trends are even more important factors to consider. You can see what analysts are predicting for Inghams Group in this interactive graph of future profit estimates. \nWhat About Dividends?\n When looking at investment returns, it is important to consider the difference between total shareholder return (TSR) and share price return. Whereas the share price return only reflects the change in the share price, the TSR includes the value of dividends (assuming they were reinvested) and the benefit of any discounted capital raising or spin-off. So for companies that pay a generous dividend, the TSR is often a lot higher than the share price return. In the case of Inghams Group, it has a TSR of -13% for the last 3 years. That exceeds its share price return that we previously mentioned. The dividends paid by the company have thusly boosted the total shareholder return. \nA Different Perspective\n Inghams Group shareholders are down 7.1% for the year (even including dividends), but the market itself is up 21%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Longer term investors wouldn't be so upset, since they would have made 3%, each year, over five years. It could be that the recent sell-off is an opportunity, so it may be worth checking the fundamental data for signs of a long term growth trend. While it is well worth considering the different impacts that market conditions can have on the share price, there are other factors that are even more important. Take risks, for example - Inghams Group has   2 warning signs  (and 1 which is a bit unpleasant)  we think you should know about. \n If you like to buy stocks alongside management, then you might just love this free list of companies.
